Senator Dino Melaye was said to have allegedly jumped out of a police vehicle when he was being taken to Lokoja, capital of Kogi state for trial on Tuesday. This is sequel to the ongoing drama between the Senator who represents Kogi West Senatorial District on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), at the National Assembly and the Nigerian Police. Dino Melaye was being conveyed from Abuja to Lokoja, the capital of Kogi State to answer questions on his alleged connection to a murder case among other allegations. He was scheduled to be to be arraigned on said day in Kogi state on charges bordering on allegations that he supplied arms to some murder suspects in his home state. Reports before his jump indicated that the police were taking him to Lokoja to parade him alongside previously arrested suspects who have allegedly confessed to being supported by Senator Melaye. The senator had earlier been declared wanted by the police over an allegation that he refused to heed the invitation of the Kogi State Police Command to answer questions about his alleged involvement which Melaye described as a political manoeuvre against him.
